<p>He was already on academic probation for getting like a 1.18 GPA or something. This second semester, he did just as horrible. I'm positive he's gonna get kicked out of the school now because he was on academic probation as aforementioned.</p>
<p>He wants to go a community college, perform better, and then transfer back into a state university. Would that be possible case for him considering he screwed up already?</p>
<p>Will he get a second chance?</p>
<p>Is “my friend” you?</p>
<p>In any case…if he works hard and has money to spare, then he should be fine.</p>
<p>Is “he” actually ready for college? If he bombed two semesters in a row that badly he might want step back and really be honest with himself about what he wants to do. Maybe the current major he’s in isn’t a good fit for him. </p>
<p>That’s what happened to me. Over the course of 20 years I attempted college three times and failed each and every one of them. I chose majors based on income potential and job security, never considering majoring in my passion, which is music. Finally, at 35 years old I decided to give it one more try and enrolled myself as a commercial music major. I’m now two years into it and I’m holding a 3.6 GPA. I started off on probation with a 1.8 GPA and it took a lot of work to recover from all the F’s and W’s on my transcript but I managed to do it. I think it was because I was finally honest with myself and chose a major in something I love to do as opposed to basing my academic motivations on money and job security. </p>
<p>So, in answer to your question, yes, your friend can recover from this. Maybe he just needs to take some time and figure out what he wants to do. In the meantime, he could get a job and get some “real world” experience. That always helps! </p>
<p>Best of luck to him.</p>
<p>I have a friend in a similar situation. most of the time, its a matter of not being at the right school or the people he hangs around that cause him to not do so well. What he needs to do is sit down and like the poster above said be honest with himself. Like i told someone in the engineering major section, I had a another friend who was separated because of a 1.5 gpa after his sophomore year, took the year off and studied his ass off, came back to his school in the original major he was (Mech E) and not only graduated with a 3.5, he landed a job with about $90k salary right out of college. Anything is possible.</p>

<p>Would that person waste his time on a website like College Confidential considering he doesn’t give a **** about college so far as evident by his (1.18) GPA?</p>
<p>Yes, this is me and I spend my time on a website entitled College Confidential, even though I don’t care about succeeding in college. [/sarcasm]</p>
<p>If he works hard enough to pull up his grades in Community and discover a passion, I think it’s possible. A lot of people go to Community College their first two years, figure out what they really want to do, then transfer to a State school. As long as he’s honest and true to himself, as 02RGuy mentions, then they will be fine.</p>
